Chapter 1464 Retreat

Black Dragon Empire, Heart of the Lake City.

Inside the Guild Hall’s office in the temporary residence of Miracle, several Guild Elders and more than a dozen high-ranking Guild members stood silently, cautiously watching the gaunt middle-aged man before them.

This gaunt middle-aged man was none other than Hunduan Shifang (Soul Severing Decimation), the legendary figure of the Miracle Guild who commanded the entire operation.

Although those present were all absolute top experts, they couldn't help but tremble at Hunduan Shifang's emotional changes, as if he was the absolute master of the entire room.

The tense and icy atmosphere in the room was all because of the information Xinghen (Star Mark) had just sent.

"Xinghen is simply crazy. He was asked to lead more than three thousand people to deal with a mere hundred from Zero Wing, yet he dared to abandon the mission and choose to retreat. Doesn't he know that the Vice Guild Leader is most intolerant of fleeing in defeat?"

"This is the first time I've seen Vice Guild Leader Hunduan so furious. I hope Xinghen won't be punished too severely."

The high-ranking members of Miracle in the room looked at Hunduan Shifang, who was as cold as frost, and felt that Xinghen was simply courting death. They had to know that although Hunduan Shifang was only a Vice Guild Leader, his power within the Guild was second only to the Guild Leader. This "second only" was not like the Vice Guild Leaders of other Guilds. Other Vice Guild Leaders could only mobilize their own subordinates, but Hunduan Shifang could mobilize anyone in the Guild at will. Even all of the Guild's trump card legions had to obey his orders.

Within the entire Guild, except for being unable to remove core high-ranking members at the level of Vice Guild Leaders like the Guild Leader could, Hunduan Shifang had the power to directly remove high-ranking members at the level of Guild Elders, of course, this had to be done with sufficient reason, and could not be done arbitrarily. As for the Guild members below that level, there was no need to mention it.

Therefore, other Vice Guild Leaders in the Guild were wary of Hunduan Shifang.

But there was no other way. After all, Hunduan Shifang had made many great contributions to the Guild. Such power was also granted by the Guild's veterans and the Guild Leader.

Now, Xinghen dared to directly defy Hunduan Shifang's orders, and they felt their scalps tingle just thinking about it.

After a moment, Hunduan Shifang regained his composure, causing everyone present to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Good! Really, very good!" Hunduan Shifang looked at the information sent by Xinghen in his hand, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. "I really underestimated this Zero Wing. No wonder they dared to provoke our Miracle Guild. So, they have such capital."

"Vice Guild Leader Hunduan, what exactly happened? Could it be that the hundred-man team sent by the Zero Wing Guild has something special about it?" The high-ranking members present couldn't help but look at Hunduan Shifang in surprise.

Just a moment ago, Hunduan Shifang was still furious about Xinghen's abandonment and retreat, but after reading the supplementary information sent by Xinghen, he actually smiled…

Those who were familiar with Hunduan Shifang knew very well what this smile represented.

It meant that he had encountered something that interested him, or that he had encountered a character who could be called an opponent, so Hunduan Shifang couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Take a look for yourselves!"

Hunduan Shifang sent the information to the work platform, directly displaying it in front of everyone. This information was the combat video of Xiongshe (Ferocious Snake) and others. In the video, when facing the first wave of teams, Xiongshe and others still felt very clumsy, but when dealing with the second wave of teams, they obviously had made great progress. Clearly, when dealing with Tier 2 experts at the Micro level, any one of Xiongshe and others could suppress them. Through constant battles, they had exhausted the Tier 2 experts at the Micro level to death…

It could be said that the combat power of each member of Xiongshe and others was approaching the combat power of the top experts of their Miracle Guild.

"How is this possible? How could the Zero Wing Guild have twenty members with combat power close to that of top experts!"

"According to the information we know, although the Zero Wing Guild's strength is stronger than ordinary first-rate Guilds, the number of experts with top-tier combat power does not exceed ten. How could twenty suddenly appear?"

The high-ranking members of the Miracle Guild looked at Xiongshe and others in the video, their eyes wide open, completely unable to believe it was true.

At this time, they understood why Xinghen chose to abandon the retreat. Twenty experts with combat power close to the top-tier level. If they were to engage in a head-on battle, it wouldn't be a problem, but in a guerrilla war in the wild, the lethality would be great. Several hundred people simply had no way to deal with these twenty people. If they wanted to encircle and capture so many top experts in the wild, they would need at least tens of thousands of people, divided into thousand-man teams to search. With a few thousand people, it would simply be asking for trouble, and continuing the battle would only cause greater losses.

"Notify Xinghen and the others that they can withdraw," Hunduan Shifang said calmly.

"Vice Guild Leader, it's obvious that the Zero Wing Guild wants to demonstrate their power to us. Are we just going to let them go like this?" A high-ranking member of Miracle asked strangely.

With the existing army sent by their Miracle Guild, they could completely blockade the entire Bitao Rock and kill Xiongshe and others.

"We are the Miracle Guild. We don't need to use such laborious and thankless small tricks against Zero Wing. Since Zero Wing wants to show us their guerrilla warfare capabilities, then we will use guerrilla warfare to return the favor!" Hunduan Shifang smiled slightly. "Notify everyone below to disperse and deal with the members of the Zero Wing Guild. Before, it was only in the area near Heart of the Lake City. Now, target all Zero Wing members in the entire Black Dragon Empire. I want to see who kills more!"

The people in the Miracle room were enlightened when they heard this.

In short, what if the Zero Wing Guild had considerable top-tier combat power?

The overall strength of the Zero Wing Guild was too weak. With a comprehensive and dispersed attack, how many places could Zero Wing manage?

Although doing so would cause some damage to their Miracle Guild, the losses of the Zero Wing Guild would be even more severe.

Subsequently, after receiving the order, Xinghen immediately ordered the Miracle army to leave Bitao Rock and no longer entangle with Xiongshe and others. This news quickly spread to the ears of the various Super Guilds. After all, the actions of Miracle this time were not small.

"Miracle actually retreated?!"

"What exactly happened at Bitao Rock? More than three thousand people actually withdrew as soon as they were told?"

The Super Guilds that received the news were all surprised by the news of Miracle's retreat, and they all sent people to inquire about the situation at Bitao Rock in detail.

They didn't know if they didn't inquire, but when they inquired, the Super Guilds that were paying attention to this battle were all taken aback. They didn't expect the Zero Wing Guild to have such a foundation.

At the same time, they were amazed by Zero Wing's performance. They didn't expect the Zero Wing Guild to make Hunduan Shifang suffer a small loss. This kind of thing had not happened for a long time in the virtual game world, except when fighting against the various Super Guilds.

Because of this matter, a small commotion was caused among the various Super Guilds, causing Bai Qingxue (White Feather Snow), who had been busy on Thunder Island, as well as Bu Mie Zhan Xin (Eternal Battle Heart) in the Ancient Ruins under the Dark Night Empire, and Huan Yu (Illusory Speech) who were in the team instance dungeon, to be shocked after receiving the news.

However, Shi Feng (Stone Peak) in the Candlelight Trading Firm of Zero Wing City was immersed in the ocean of forging, frantically producing one Intermediate Combat Magic Armor after another. After more than a day, a pleasant system notification sound suddenly came from Shi Feng's ear.

System: Congratulations to the player for producing a reinforced Intermediate Combat Magic Armor, forging proficiency +5, experience value +368,000.

System: Congratulations to the player for being promoted to Intermediate Forging Master.
